For decades, scientists have been puzzled by a simple question: Why can't you remember being a baby? Even though infants ...

New research from the University of Chicago challenges long-held beliefs about how synaptic plasticity contributes to memory ...

New structural markers of memory storage uncovered by Scripps Research may pave the way for new treatments for memory loss.

Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists discovered cells within the brain's hippocampus that store memories of specific locations. These cells also play an important role in storing memories of ...

A new study reveals that memory-related brain activity continues to shift even after learning, challenging traditional views ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...

Most past neuroscience studies have focused on how the hippocampus supports episodic memory (i.e., the memory of personal experiences or life events) and spatial navigation. Yet recent findings ...

Led by researchers from NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the work found that a circuit known to carry messages from a brain region that processes sensory information, the entorhinal cortex (EC), to ...

New research reveals that Type 2 diabetes may impair the brain’s reward and memory processing in ways that mirror early ...

New Rules for the Game of Memory Mar. 20, 2025 — New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain ...

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers revealed the structural underpinnings of memory formation across a broad network of neurons in the mouse brain.
